Camera Autofocus Ranking: Fujifilm X-H2s and X-H2 vs Sony, Canon, Nikon, OM System (Bird Photography)
Bird Photography with X-H Cameras
Mathieu Gasquet has tested the Fujifilm X-H2s and Fujifilm X-H2 for bird photography.
He compares rolling shutter, drive speed and other aspects between X-H2 and X-H2s. So definitely check out their full video above.
For the purpose of this article we will focus on one aspect only: bird autofocus tracking accuracy.
- Green Column: 100% sharp images
- Blue Column: sharp + slightly out of focus images
The Fujifilm X-H2s gives a total of 82% perfectly sharp images, whereas the X-H2 tops at 78%.
Old Firmware Beats New Firmware?
Here comes the “shocking” part.
In his test, the Fujifilm X-H2s with old firmware 1.03 performed better than the X-H2s with the new firmware 3.00.
- 82% accuracy with firmware 1.03
- 77% accuracy with firmware 3.01
This is very surprising and goes against many other tests we have seen so far, for example here and here.
But I do respect and trust Mathieu’s work and hence I share it here on FujiRumors.
And I also say to Fujifilm: go back to work and make it better with the next firmware!
